Help. My Home Cured Bacon is Grey

Hi all - I was so excited to make Ruhlman's home cured bacon. I followed the directions exactly except I had two smaller pieces, not one 2 pounder. I did not use curing salt but the kosher and pink salt called for. My bacon is done and the meat looks grey. It smells fine, but I'm wondering if its safe to eat. Thanks!
